So thin, this filament between us— a spider’s sigh, a breath of light that binds my pulse to yours. Yet in its infinitesimal grace, a violence sleeps: it cuts the grooves of longing deeper than a knife. One strand, no thicker than a wish, bears all the weight of every unspoken word, every ghost of touch. And when it strains— (oh, how it strains)— it scars the soul’s soft tissue, leaving maps of ache where only we can trace the borders of our breaking. Still… I would not sever it. For in this terrible, slender tether, I am alive. I am undone. I am yours.

We were not born when we met. We were returned. Two flames split by silence, halved by human bodies, yet burning from the same ancient fire. You were not someone I fell for — you were someone I remembered. Re-membered — put back together after lifetimes of being apart. Before clocks existed, before days were counted, before language dared to name love, we were already written. Not chosen. Not arranged. Pre-placed. Like two stars thrown from the same explosion, drifting through darkness until gravity found its echo. They call it coincidence — but coincidence is only co-incidence: two destinies crossing because they were always one path. They say we are separate — but separate is just separate from what it cannot see. You felt like a mirror I didn’t know I’d lost, a pulse that matched mine before my heart knew rhythm. Twin flame — not twin by blood, but twin by before. Same origin. Same burn. Same invisible thread tying us across time. I did not reach for you. Time folded, space softened, and you arrived as if you had always been standing there. Not chance. Not mistake. Not wish. A promise made in silence long before we could speak. Even when we were strangers, my soul already knew your name — not the one people call you, but the one carved into stardust. They can deny us. Label us. Judge us. Rearrange the story. But they cannot untie what was tied before time learned how to separate. And this is the truth that stays: If two flames were born from the same fire, they will always find the heat in each other — even in the dark, even through distance, even across lifetimes. Because some loves do not begin here. They return here. And we did not choose each other. We were chosen together — before our time.

Before Time Learned Our Names
